Actually it helped our case because I had no problems bringing the child. My child is here with me we got our visas together although his papers was filed almost one year after mine. I had no RFE on his paperwork. I believe that when they see that you have all your papers in hand you have a straight case your papers is processed quickly

My wife got her visa now. Now Im still waiting to hear from the USCIS about my sons I-130. Its been over 7 weeks now.

Is there anyway I can be in touch with them and ask to pls expedite my case since his mother got the visa and he is only minor and no need to check the background. They already did that with me and my wife.

Any suggestions what can I do at this stage.

I'm curious about the questions. What do they ask in those interviews? I have some basic idea but not sure what they ask at Islamabad embassy. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks everyone for helping me with the interview questions.

My wife got the visa...wooohoooo!!!!

I don't have the court document yet so I cannot file it with my I-130 petition. I think most likely it is needed at the time of the interview. I cannot wait for the court papers and then file I-130 petition. I'm including some of my wife's paperwork and try to link it with her interview date.

Thanks...I have read the instructions carefully now and I know what i need to file with the I-130. You guys are great help to me.

Does my wife need a permission letter from her ex husband or the court order should enough or they need both?

Thanks in advance

What do I need to file I-130 for my minor step son?

We don't have custody papers yet and we have contacted a lawyer and she is helping us with that. I don't know If I need to have custody letter at the time of I-130. We will have the custody letter but it might take little time. I was not aware of it until now.

Thanks

Thanks susie.

You really made my day. I thought it is going to take months before I could see my wife and her son. I'm very anxiously waiting for them here. I really appreciate your help here.

Is it possible if I can get your email so my wife can ask you few questions? She is very worried and not happy with this situation. It is going to help her to hear about your case.

Thanks again

I like the title of this thread. My wife has interview next month and this week we found out that we need to file I-130 for my step son. He is 7 years old. I'm going to send his I-130 this monday. Please let me know how much time it will take him for get approved from NVC. Is it possible for him to be approved and have interview with his mother next month?

Is there a way to link his I-130 with my wife's approved I-130?

My wife is not happy for missing his I-130 even though I had a lawyer too. We were going for K3 and then end up going for I-130 when it was approved quicker.

Thanks in advance

Thanks susie

How much time it took for your son get the NVC approval? Im going to file his I-130 on monday. I also want to find out how did you link the account. Is there a special procedure to do that? His month/my wife is very worried about him and she is blaming me for not filing his I-130. Basically my lawyer screwed up the things for us. I made the mistake of believing her.

Thanks again

I'm US citizen and my wife already has the interview date and my lawyer didn't tell us we need to file I-130 separately for my step son. I'm just curious if you know what are NVC instructions if you are filing for a minor.

Thanks

Do you know if the embassy is open now? I heard it is closed until Nov. 15. I'm trying to get the info but i cannot find it anywhere. Do you have a link for the warden notice?

Thanks

I just found out that I have to file I-130 for son now. My lawyer didn't tell me that I need to file I-130 for the son too.

I wanted to go with the K3 because it was quicker but our I-130 approved with the I-129 and I end up going for the I-130 but my lawyer didn't tell me that I need to file I-130 for my step son too. Lawyer got a letter from NVC about this then she found out about the I-130 for my step son. He is 8 years old. Is there a way to expedite I-130 processing for him. Since he doesn't have to go through any security checks.

Now I want to find out if I can still go with the K3 visa instead CR-1/I-130. I'm running out of patience here...i have waited 10 months for her and now this situation

Please tell me if i can still go for K3 or not.

Thanks

Quick question...do you know what happened to my K3 request?

Can I still go with the K3? Do I still have that choice?

I will really appreciate the reply to my questions.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

My profile is old. I'm going for CR-1 based on my lawyers mistake. I wanted to go for K-3 but since she got the interview date for CR-1 and I assume that my K-3 is not valid anymore. I had lawyer and they didn't tell me about this and I found out today that I need to file I-130 for my step son...it is going to add few months to my wait.

I'm very confused right now. My wife's son or my step son's name is included in I-130 I filed for my wife. My lawyer didn't tell me that I need to file I-130 for the son too. Is this true? what are my options at this point?

Please advice what to do here...thanks in advance

Thanks guys.

I think Lawyer is wrong here. She was kept telling me that we are going for the K3 while she asked me to pay $470 to NVC. I told her it means we are going for the I-130 and not K3 but she and her assistant kept saying it is part of the K3 processing.

I wanted to go for the K3 before because I didn't have the job and i thought I will need affidavit of support during the interview time. Anyway I found the job earlier this month and sent them affidavit of support based on my new job. Everything is fine now im just disappointed that my lawyer didn't give me the right advice.

Thanks again

Thanks for the wonderful replies. I feel much better after reading your comments.

I will forget about the K3 and go with the I-130 now and I will tell that to my lawyer on Tuesday. Im surprised that she lied to me about this. Anyway I was nervous about refiling and waiting for another few months. It is tough to be away from her and I miss her very much.

Thanks guys...you guys are doing a wonderful job on this forum....keep it up

I got NOA 2 in july for both I-129 and I-130.

In August I paid $470 fee to the NVC. I got NVC letter to send them $470.

In september I filed DS230 for my wife.

After that NVC asked me to send couple of things and I-864 which I sent back earlier this month.

Now my lawyer didn't say anything what she got in the mail from the NVC. I requested to call me and let me know what is going on. She didn't bother to call or email to me to explain things to me. I'm bit frustrated here so I thought I might ask on this forum and find out what is going on with my K3 visa processing.

Any help will be greatly appreciated here

I'm very confused right now. I thought DS230 and I-864 required for IR1/I-130 processing not for K3 processing. My lawyer and her assistant kept telling me that both required for K3 processing. I wanted to go with the K3 and thats why I paid $470 and send them DS230 and I-864. I kept questioning them about that. I hired lawyer so I won't make any mistake and it seems like my lawyer is screwing me or something.

I did some research and it seems like im going for IR1/I-130 not K3...because I filed DS230 and I-864....is that right?

Today she told me that I need to file k3 petition again. I don't get that. Please help me to understand the K3 and IR1 processing so I can tell her what to do on this Tuesday when I meet her.

Please tell me what is my best option right now. Can I still go for either one or just IR1/I-130? I don't want to file my petition again. I'm missing her very much and to be away from her few more months is not something i want at this point.

Thanks in advance
